When Eddie was four, his mother's abusive partner locked them in a small, filthy apartment; tortured his mother; and intimidated young Eddie, who remained imprisoned. Once rescued, Eddie must adjust to life on the outside and also grapple with who he may become. Told from multiple points of view, including those of Eddie, his foster parents, and social workers, the novel is gripping and powerful.
